Last Jedi to send Car­rie Fisher off in an amaz­ing way: Boyega

It seems like Princess Leia will get the send­off she de­serves. Ac­cord­ing to The Hol­ly­wood Re­porter, John Boyega (right), the star of Last Jedi, said that his Star Wars cast mate, the late Car­rie Fisher (above), would ap­pear on screen for the fi­nal time in a per­fect man­ner.

Boyega, while speak­ing in an in­ter­view, noted, “This movie, it sends her off in an amaz­ing, amaz­ing way. And she is still kept alive in this fran­chise. That’s the beauty of it: she lives for­ever in a sense.” The ac­tor said that when he learned of Fisher’s death last De­cem­ber, “it was a strange, strange feel­ing. I felt like every­one in the cast went si­lent for a bit af­ter that.” He added that Leia and Finn (their char­ac­ters) have many scenes to­gether in this Star Wars in­stall­ment. Be­fore Fisher’s death in De­cem­ber, Leia was ex­pected to have a role in 2019’s Episode IX.
